Smith Farm | 152 Acres | Crisp County, GA

Welcome to Smith Farm, a 152-acre generational family farm in Crisp County, just outside Cordele, Georgia, and only ten minutes from Interstate 75. The property includes 115 acres of farmland, 13 acres of fenced pasture, 21 acres of woods, and a 3-acre home place with two homes.

Dating back to the 1800s, this farm has been in the same family and has been maintained as a working farm for the majority of that time. The ~115 acres of farmland feature productive South Georgia cropland with a desirable soil profile well-suited for dryland agricultural production. Approximately 75% of the property consists of Tifton loamy sand, with National Commodity Crop Productivity Index (NCCPI) ratings ranging from 0.637 to 0.646. These soils offer favorable inherent characteristics for non-irrigated crop production, making the property an attractive opportunity for farmers and agricultural investors. The 13-acre fenced pasture, utilized for cows, contains a plumbed watering cistern with a concrete apron.

The property includes two natural springs, and the terrain map in our GIS Map Package shows an old pond site on the northeastern corner of the property. The topography and water profile offer potential sites for future livestock or irrigation ponds. The forested areas are a mix of pine and hardwood timber that serve as buffer areas around intermittent creeks, which carry water during periods of rainfall or wet seasons.

Crisp County is in a desirable area of South Georgia known for quality hunting. Georgia Outdoor News gives the county a high rank, "GOOD CHANCE for a Wallhanger," in its Big Buck Production classification. In addition to the row crops, a portion of the property has a planted dove field for family and friends.

The 3-acre home place includes two houses and a four-car garage. The main house is a furnished, 1,404-square-foot brick home with three bedrooms and 1.5 baths, currently used by the family. The second farmhouse has three bedrooms and has been rented to the same tenant for over 25 years. The property is served by overhead power, a deep well, and septic.

The property is located at 1209 Hatley Road, about 15 minutes from Cordele and ten minutes from Interstate 75, with approximately 2,100 feet of paved road frontage. Three-phase power is available along Hatley Road. The property is enrolled in Georgia's Conservation Use Valuation Assessment (CUVA) program, a preferential tax program for agricultural land, with annual property taxes of $3,017.22.
